Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Look what I got

sweet man! is that the TRD supercharger??! if it isnt then..sweet anyways! any day you get parts for your car is a good day!!!!

damnnnnnn man thats so nice keep us updated on al this... i never even knew trd had one of those ... wats the website where i can read up on one of those.. thnx alot

Yeah its the supercharger. I am getting it installed at monkey wrench racing the days afer Thanksgiving. Hopefully we can get it to work with Emanage. If not we will not its not possible with piggyback because MWR knows their tuning.

thats freakin sweet man...how does a supercharger sound? i never heard one believe it or not..

sometimes I wish I had a GT

http://larry.neptune.com/ number 14 make sure you watch near the end for the sound except this guy has a cai so the sound is just sligtly more pronounced. TRD recommends against cai's and s/c so im not using it (if this even works).

AWESOME DUDE!...you are really serious about this supercharger stuff!...i think i seen this at the toyota dealer one time!

Post pics when its instaled bro
Verry nice

dude , you gotta post pics and videos of this!! hell yea, congrats

Hey man that is awesome!!! Can't wait to hear & see it installed! How much? if you don't mind me asking.

1300 shipped for supercharger + 1300 for emanage, harnesses etc, emanage installed, supercharger installed, and tuning + 800 shipped hood= More than I wanted. I dont know if I would count the hood though because i wanted a hood anyways and I like this one. I had to pay more than I originally thought because my great supercharger deal fell through but it will be worth it if it works. If not then we know it wont work.

^^ owning a supercharged Celica = Priceless

sweet!! congrats on the purchase...keep us all posted on the celi

I will. Im just kinda expecting something to go wrong so if it does work, its just a bonus.

how much can you boost on the super charger

and you must let me know how/where you got the SC for 1300 ::wink wink::

dude that is going to be awesome

wow cool how much power to you get with the supercharger

I think TRD says 40hp and torque...and yeah where did you find it for 1300?

"sweet man! is that the TRD supercharger??! if it isnt then..sweet anyways!"
^lol

wow i just watched the vids of that supercharged matrix on that site...man your celi is gonna be mean!

The supercharger doesnt add nearly as much power as a turbo but it will be power without turbo lag which is what I want since I have an auto . I will give out all the contact info on how to get the prices I did once we know if it works. PM me if you need it earlier for some reason. I will know on the 28th if it works b/c the appointment is set for the 26th and 27th.

I'll be anxiously awaiting your results -

definately.

are you using a replica trd 'bubble hood' or some sort of custom hood?

havn't heard about this in awhile, keep me updated

good luck. ur the first one to try, i belive?

Sweet, thats hot. Good luck, hope it works like you want it too.

he's got the hood specifically made for the SC - manufactured by AIT I believe...

Yeah the AIT/TRD hood in my sig.

i need a new pair of pants!

Nice!

thats hot...

im anxious to see results too, this is a revalation in the world known as boosting celicas, might change my mind about selling it for something with FI

i know it says gains of 40 hp, but can you adjust the boost??

damn thats sweet i always liked sc cause it's instant power. i love the ur hood how much did it cost

Well on matrixowners.com they have added different belts to up the boost but that is getting a little to risky for me. They have also added the trd cai with water injection and 93 octane gas to ensure their is no pinging with the cai and the cai added 10 whp. The TRD intake is the only intake that fits in their engine bay and has caused some of the owners to have their cat burn out. Of coarse we dont have a TRD intake so im not sure if we can even use an intake. They have added a complete exhaust system to add some more horsepower, but I am not sure that the celica would need that like the matrix did. This is all stuff I am not considering doing. I took out my cai and am gonna use 93 octane gas to try and make sure their is no pinging and this will be my last performance mod. If the supercharger doesnt work I am just hooking up emanage and being done with performance. The emanage will allow us to get more horsepower than the trd ecu as well, but I want to find a good tune between reliabilty and power.


800 shipped

sic , are you planning on building up your tranny or just running stock internals?

stock. I shouldnt need to do anything with the trd.

cool

maybe you will be able to keep up withus GTS owners. Maybe

HA...GTS...no sweat. No but seriously I have an auto so from a stop I would be able to beat the GT and GTS autos with almost anything and the 5 speed GT without too many mods. The only way I would be able to beat a 6 speed GTS would be if we were already moving because of the added torque. I bet you it would be bad ass in autox though

uhhh!! damn!!

m jealous

wowie, thats cool!

NICE TRD Supercharger , you gonna get some lighter rims man. I know those 5Zigen Copse are heavy. I had them before on my 91 Mr2

Thats AWESOME!!! I truly love my GT but I wouldnt mind having more power under the hood. So, if it works Ill be purchasing it as a Christmas gift for myself. Definitely keep us updated on all the details.

any news on the install?

yea.. how'd it go?? and it's only for the GT?

yes its only for the GT. It worked fine and seems to be reliable but the peak horsepower number is not as high as we had hoped. The power down low is insane though. Check the power and performance tuning forum.
